My mother was killed while working for Felicity Farseer. An engineering experiment went bad; I was only five years old at the time. Farseer basically took me in with the other urchins that she had in the compound. We were put to work repairing FSDs; our small hands were invaluable for the tasks. The work was hard, but the old gal took pretty good care of us. When I was 15 I got into an argument with her, and that was it. I stole an Eagle and left that God-forsaken rock. I went right into the Federal Navy where I learned how to fight. After my tours I bought my own ship. When I went back to Deciat I knew that I would have to face Farseer, so I made sure I had a cargo hold full of meta alloys and a ton of exploration data. When I sat at the table across from her she smiled and told me everything was even. She never did pay me for that data.
